Historic Arts & Crafts chapel in Pacific Heights provides an unforgettable setting for your celebration. We welcome inter-faith and non-denominational couples, as well as same sex couples.
Built in 1895 by a coterie of artists, architects and spiritual seekers, the historic Swedenborgian Church is rustic and charming in the Arts and Crafts tradition. There's a huge brick fireplace inside and, lit with candles, the interior is exceptionally beautiful and serene. Floors, walls and ceilings are wood, and the arching overhead beams are good-sized madrone tree trunks. In lieu of conventional pews, handmade Mission-style maple chairs are provided.
Adjacent to the chapel is a turn-of-the-century Craftsman house whose living, dining and garden rooms are used for receptions. In front of the house, a quiet garden with a small pool, trees, benches and flowers provides a pretty spot for gatherings.
